There is also a file "/usr/local/libexec/apache24/mod_filter.so” with a slightly earlier timestamp (probably from when I recompiled apache24 this am).

  I don't see any errors on my 10.3 system:
$ uname -pro
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 amd64
$ cat test.php
<?php filter_var('true', FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN); ?>
$ php test.php
$

  Try to create phpinfo.php:
$ cat phpinfo.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

  Open it in your web-browser and check for "filter" section presence.
